Captain Freedom?
Yep. Kirby did a bunch of covers in 1942 for this Harvey Comics character who appeared in SPEED COMICS. Don't know too much about the character, he was apparently a newspaper publisher named Don Hudson who sometimes had a kid gang group the Young Defenders helping him. The handful of covers Kirby did were certainly good.
The original art for this cover was up for auction a while ago. Check out the scan here.

Am I the only one who thinks this cover looks more Simon than Kirby?

I thought a few of the other SPEED covers attributed to Kirby looked a bit more Simon, but thought this one clearly had some Kirby. But then I've never looked at solo Simon too closely. Definitely a different inking style than was typical of their DC or Marvel work of the era.
